Key Security Challenges in Real Estate

Industry-specific threats and compliance gaps that our consultants see repeatedly.

Business Email Compromise & Fraud

Real estate transactions are the most common target for BEC fraud โ€” attackers intercept payment instructions and redirect large transfers. Email security and process controls are critical.

Customer Financial Data Protection

KYC documents, bank statements, and financial records shared during property transactions must be secured against data breaches and insider threats.

PropTech Platform Vulnerabilities

Online property portals, booking systems, and customer portals require regular VAPT to prevent data leaks, account takeover, and payment fraud.

RERA and DPDPA Compliance

RERA mandates secure handling of buyer data and project information. India's DPDPA 2023 adds additional obligations for all entities processing customer personal data.
